Introduction

The key to good photo asset management is to maintain a well-organized photo catalog. This can prove to be a daunting task
when you are managing thousands of photos at a time. Thankfully, Lightroom includes several organizational features that can
help you manage large photo libraries with ease.

In this chapter, you learn how to rotate and flip photos so that they appear the way you like in the Library Content area.
You’ll also learn how to apply searchable attributes, such as zero-to-five-star ratings, pick or reject flags, and custom
color labels.

This chapter also explains how to control the sort order for the thumbnails in the Content area and Filmstrip. You will learn
the various ways you can sort images, as well as how to change their sort direction from ascending to descending and vice
versa.

Lastly, you will learn how to conserve room in the Content area by stacking related photos into groups, and how to conserve
room in the catalog by removing unusable photos.
